Thetford is known for scarce parts availability, and even when they're available, they're expensive. I've had to order from obscure dealers in New Zealand and England before....ridiculous. And why the hand pump was never offered in the U.S. is preposterous. There's no reason for an electric flush on a portable toilet.

In any event, glad you found the fix of interest, even though you don't need it!
